Brock Lesnar is Mr. Money in the Bank for 2019, but it appears that when he showed up on Monday Night Raw and turned the briefcase into a boombox, Stephanie McMahon felt that he was disrespecting the WWE.
Seth Rollins and Kofi Kingston were awaiting his choice of who he would cash in on and when he would cash in his Money in the Bank contract before he found out that he had a year to decide and never announced his opponent.
WWE released a video on their Twitter page a short time ago where Stephanie McMahon assured the WWE Universe that Lesnar would be punished for his actions since he disrespected the Money in the Bank contract and the company's two main champions with his actions.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE
In the past, Lesnar has been punished but it has never been anything worth writing about since he's WWE's biggest star and the company wouldn't want to make him angry, so will this time be the same?
#6 Brock Lesnar won't be allowed to travel to Saudi Arabia
Super ShowDown is next Friday and even though there is just over a week to go until the show, Lesnar's opponent is yet to be revealed. The Beast was one of the first stars announced for the show and it's unlikely that he wouldn't want to make the trip to The Middle East since it's a huge payday for him, but WWE could decide to add a storyline to the fact that he isn't actually going.
Lesnar was originally planned to cash in his Money in the Bank contract on Seth Rollins in Jeddah, but that might not happen now since Rollins is defending his Universal Championship against Baron Corbin. It's unknown why creative changed the idea but what is known is the fact that if Lesnar heads over to Saudi Arabia then he will be the recipient of quite a large payday when he doesn't even have a match at present.
#5 Brock Lesnar's trip to Saudi Arabia could be a tough one
Stephanie McMahon made it clear in the video that the company released that Brock Lesnar had disrespected the WWE as a whole. This means that punishment should include a number of employees of the company, or 50 of them to be precise.
Last time Vince McMahon punished Roman Reigns, he was forced to defend his Championship inside the Royal Rumble match, so it would be interesting to see if WWE finally announce Lesnar's match in Saudi Arabia as the 50-man battle royal and the winner will get the Money in the Bank contract.
This would ensure that Brock is in no state to cash in that night and would then make sense as to why the company is yet to announce a match for Lesnar in Saudi Arabia despite the fact that he will definitely be there.
#4 Brock will be forced to defend his Money in the Bank contract on Raw
It's not like it hasn't happened before and let's be honest, Brock Lesnar would definitely deserve it. Back at Money in the Bank, The Beast didn't even break a sweat as he ran to the ring and retrieved the briefcase despite the fact that he wasn't part of the match and many of the men in that ring put their bodies on the line before he came to the ring.
It would be interesting to see if WWE forced Lesnar to defend his contract against Ali on Monday night Raw since they could take advantage of the Wild Card rule and allow the star to exact some revenge on The Beast for taking away the contract that he had already worked hard for. WWE has forced stars to defend contracts before, so this isn't a far fetched punishment and Vince McMahon would think that Lesnar wrestling on Raw would definitely improve the ratings.
#3 Brock Lesnar and Paul Heyman will be fined
Ronda Rousey found out the hard way that when you act outside of the rules in WWE, the company often decides to hand out fines. In recent times, many stars have been fined for putting their hands on officials or even for disrespecting The Chairman, so it would make sense for WWE to tell Heyman and Lesnar that they have to pay a fine.
This wouldn't be seen as punishment for the WWE Universe since it's well known that whatever WWE would fine Lesnar is small change to him. It's interesting that McMahon pointed out that both Heyman and Lesnar will be punished, which could be a hint to what the punishment would be, but WWE now has a few days to come up with the best one and then put it in action next week on Raw.
#2 Suspension for 30 days
It's likely now that Brock Lesnar has learned that he has a whole year to cash in his contract, he probably won't want to return to WWE for a while. Lesnar has made a career out of being a part-time star and even as Champion he only showed up at the big events so if Lesnar was suspended then in storyline he would be able to head back home for more than a month.
There's a reason WWE made it clear that Lesnar has a year to cash in his contract because he can now disappear and allow the Champions to become comfortable with him in the shadows before he returns at the most shocking time and decides to cash in the contract. Suspension is usually only used for stars who put their hands on officials or act outside of the rules but WWE could make an example out of Brock and send him home from Raw.
#1 Brock Lesnar could be forced to be part of a Money in the Bank ladder match
WWE Stomping Grounds is coming up and right now the card is somewhat up in the air, when WWE didn't agree with the way that Carmella won the women's Money in the Bank ladder match back in 2017, she was forced to endure a rematch and still came out on top.
WWE could allow the likes of Randy Orton, Andrade, Finn Balor, Baron Corbin, Drew McIntyre, Ricochet and Ali to exact some revenge at Stomping Grounds by booking Lesnar in a Money in the Bank rematch where he is forced to endure the physicality of the match from the beginning. This would also be the perfect place for him to lose the case and then pick up a feud heading into SummerSlam.
